Your little sis! We went to some local gardens to walk around and I took this photo of her.

Sunday morning worship at camp. We were thinking about you and praying for you!

THe big tree by the office at camp had to come down, it was half rottenon the inside. They were concerned it would come down on all the staffs cars. That is John and Bryan in front of the tree. John then went to the end and touched a leaf and said that he just touched something no other human had ever touched! Pretty cool.

Here is Nathan, with his new haircut! around him is Lizi, a friend of Shwanas, Nicholas, Cheyanne, Austin, Hannah, and Shawna. I will try to remember to get a clsoe up of him next time he comes over.

Kim, and her rocks! Her job was to get rocks out of the field, she kept a bunch of them! We got a new vehicle, at least new for us! It's a 06 Trailblazer. 06 was the last year they made them with the third row seat. We got it the Friday before Memorial Day and dorve it to camp for Work Weekend.

So here ia a picture of Katie and Dave. It was taken early in May. She saw the doctor yesterday and she could have the baby anytime now. They are pretty excited. She loved your gift. They are still living at Dave's parents place for now. His parents are out of town. They have spent the night here a few times!

I tried to call you yesterday and today, the first time I got that message you were not available and the second time it just rang. I will try again!!! I Miss you. After reading your journal I realize how quickly time is going. It is almost June.

Journal

I have finished Keah's Journal. When is the next one coming!!!! It is good to read them and see the ups and downs of your life. You know, no matter where you are there are ups and downs, yours are just more spectacular! But the emotions that go with them are the same no matter where you live and work.
In some ways we are closer with you than we were with our parents when we lived in California. Not in miles of course, but in contact. With the computer and cell phones we are able to talk much more often than we did with our parents. (Now that does not mean we want you to stay there forever!!!!!!!!)
We read of your struggles and see how one day you want to stay there for a long time and other days you were ready to come home. But through it all you have a constituency in your faith that you are where you are supposed to be. That does not make the hard days easier, but it does help you to get over the pain faster!
We read of your frustrations and see that you are growing stronger and will be better for what you have lived through. You will be stronger and more understanding. You will be mindful of others and what they do in a new way.
We love you and are so proud of you guys!!!! You are where you wanted to be doing what you wanted to do(even in not exactly in the way you expected) You are where God placed you with the people He wanted you with. Who knows His plan, it may be more for you than for them. When you encounter difficulities remember what Christ encountered. HE will get you through the hard times and He will rejoice with you in the good ones.
Well thats it for now. I will be putting more pictures up soon. Nathan got all his hair cut off!!!

We love you both,
Mom and Dad

I did it, Pictures!!!

Here is the house your brothers bought!! Wow !!! It is very nice and they are so happy. They are all moved in now. It is just about 6 miles SE of us. The neighborhood is nice and it has a walking trail pretty close.

Shawna and I at the seniors honor banquet for COACH. Isn't she beautiful. Can you believe she will be a senior next year.

Oops, I added it twice and I do not know how to delete it???

I figured it out! I hope you are as proud of me as I am of myself.... This is me at the women's retreat from Western Hills/ I went with Nana, Aunt Cindy, Aunt K, and Karen. We had free time when we first got there and walked around the grounds.

We just got back this evening for camp. It did not rain this year till this morning. That made it nice for camp. Erin was very pleased to be able to talk to you via text! She seems pretty excited about being a counselor. Kim and the twins were there. We were going to raft this morning, but a thunder storm started early morning and we decided to head home instead. IT was pretty warm, and we got home to over 90 degree temp. ( I know you think that is not so hot!!!)

We have rearranged rooms since Nathan has moved. His old room is a CM room and Shawna's old room is not YOUR room!!! at least it has your bed and your furniture and all your things in the closets. Shawna has moved into Jonathan's old room.

Well it is getting late so I will close for now. I loved hearing from you via text whild we were at camp. It was neat, because I had been looking at the stars just the night before and thinking of you. I had ask daddy if you could see the same stars. I can not wait to talk to you again. I hope these pictures are a blessing to you and that they do not make you miss us more. It is a fine line between the two!

I did it!

I did it! Youe were right it was not as hard as I thougt it would be. Now I just need to figure out how to add pictures. I will do that later.


We have watched your viedo several times! It is wonderful. It made us laugh, smile and yes even cry! We can not wait for the update!!!!


We talked to Bob. He made it home Monday afternoon, missing his bag. They have called and said it was found and they will get it to him. So he will let us know when he gets it! We had a wonderful talk with him. He had such a good time visiting you. He had such wonderful things to say about you both!!!! We are so proud of you.


Well thats it for now! I will figure out how to add pictures the next time.
We love you!!!!
